What would you do? Observing spouse abuse...

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this discussion, but...

These are very interesting videos. As one who has stepped in when witnessing public abuse, these videos interested me. I know it can be risky, but I felt I had to do it the few occasions I have. What do you think? These controlled situations pointed out so many factors including race, dress, environment, fear, etc. Take a look and see what you think.

Don't think I can embed the videos, but you can watch both parts here. The second was pretty disturbing to me.

This is bullshit. If they did the same exact scenario they'd have a point. They change the discussion, they changed the atmosphere, they change the tone and then try to draw the same conclusion.

Sorry, the second video is crappy.

I understand what they are trying to get across but, I don't like how they set it up. The only thing that gives me pause are the bruises on the second lady. The first lady's bruises are hidden by her hair and sweater at first.

I think it has less to do with the dress and more to do with the discussion.

Gaaah. That's a really tricky one. I live in a condo and some people abuse their partners in public. Public, meaning EVEN IN THE GODDAMN ELEVATOR. I've felt the overwhelming to throw them to the floor sometimes. What's the tipping point, though?
